Free Knitting Chart Maker
Turn a photo, character, or logo into a colorwork knitting chart you can knit stitch by stitch. Upload any image and MakeBead maps every square to a yarn color and corrects for knit gauge — because knit stitches are wider than they are tall, the chart is built with extra rows so your finished piece keeps the right proportions instead of coming out squished. Get a symbol chart, color legend, stitch count, and a printable PDF for fair isle, intarsia, or duplicate stitch.

功能
Gauge / Stitch-Aspect Correction
Knit stitches are wider than tall (about 20 stitches to 28 rows over 4"). MakeBead builds the chart with gauge-proportional rows so your finished knit looks like the photo — not vertically squished like a plain square grid.
Colorwork, Fair Isle & Intarsia
One chart works for stranded colorwork, fair isle, intarsia, and duplicate stitch — pick the technique, keep the chart.
Image to Knitting Chart
Upload a photo, pet, character, or logo and get an instant stitch-by-stitch color chart — no plotting on knitter’s graph paper.
Symbols for B&W Printing
Every color also gets a symbol, so you can knit from a clean black-and-white chart or print without color ink — the way most knitting charts work.
Stitch Count & Finished Size
Get an exact stitch count per color and the finished dimensions from your gauge, so you know how much yarn to buy and how big it will be.

What Is a Knitting Chart (Colorwork & Fair Isle)?
A knitting chart is a grid where each square is one stitch of a color. Knitters use charts for colorwork — fair isle, intarsia, and duplicate stitch — to knit pictures, motifs, and letters into sweaters, hats, and blankets by reading the grid square by square instead of written rows.
The catch is gauge: knit stitches are wider than they are tall (a typical stockinette gauge is around 20 stitches and 28 rows over 4 inches). Knit a plain square grid and the result comes out vertically squished. The best charts correct for this by using more rows than columns — which is exactly what MakeBead does automatically.
A knitting chart maker like MakeBead handles the hard part — turning a photo into an accurate, gauge-corrected, color-matched chart with symbols. Upload an image, set your gauge and width, and export a chart that knits up in the right proportions.

常見問題
How do I turn a photo into a knitting chart? ▾
Upload any photo, character, or logo. MakeBead scales it to a stitch grid, corrects for knit gauge (extra rows), matches every square to a yarn color, and outputs a color-and-symbol chart with a stitch count and legend. Export the PDF and knit it row by row as colorwork, fair isle, or intarsia.
Why does the chart have more rows than columns? ▾
Because knit stitches are wider than they are tall. If the chart were a plain square grid, the knitted result would look vertically squished. MakeBead adds rows in proportion to a stockinette gauge (about 20 stitches to 28 rows over 4") so the finished knit keeps the image’s true proportions.
Does it work for fair isle and intarsia? ▾
Yes. The same color chart works for stranded fair isle, intarsia, and duplicate stitch — read the grid square by square and carry or join colors per your technique. Limit the colors to keep stranded floats and yarn joins manageable.
Can I get a black-and-white symbol chart? ▾
Yes. Turn on Symbols and every color gets its own symbol, so you can knit from a clean B&W chart, print without color ink, or read it more easily — the standard way knitting charts are published.
What yarn colors does it use? ▾
MakeBead matches your image to real worsted-weight yarn colors so the chart uses skeins you can actually buy. Colors are approximate; check a physical shade card for exact matches, and set your own gauge for the yarn weight you use.
How many stitches wide should my chart be? ▾
Set the width in stitches to match your project — a hat motif might be 40–80 stitches, a sweater yoke or blanket panel 100+. The grid scales to your width and shows the finished stitch count and size.
How do I know how much yarn to buy? ▾
The legend shows the exact stitch count for each color, and the materials estimate converts that into approximate skeins so you can shop before you cast on.
Can I use my own yarn colors? ▾
Set the maximum number of colors to match the yarn you own, and MakeBead limits the chart to that many colors — helpful for keeping fair-isle floats and intarsia bobbins under control.
How do I read a knitting chart? ▾
Each square is one stitch, read bottom to top. On flat knitting, read right-to-left on right-side rows and left-to-right on wrong-side rows; in the round, read every row right-to-left. The exported PDF includes a color-and-symbol legend so you always know which yarn each square is.
